Man City’s Phil Foden Seeks Bounceback After Club World Cup Win

Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden is determined to bounce back from a difficult 2024-25 season, expressing that his "hunger" to perform at the highest level has returned after a period of rest. Foden, who struggled with form and injury last season, opted out of England's recent international fixtures to recuperate, a decision he justified by scoring and assisting in City's 2-0 win over Wydad AC at the Club World Cup. The 25-year-old highlighted the importance of rest in regaining his sharpness and confidence, stating that the break allowed him to refresh mentally and physically. Foden's current contract runs until 2027, but discussions about an extension have not yet started. Despite last season's challenges and City's failure to secure a major trophy, Foden is optimistic about the new season and eager to prove doubters wrong. His recent performance in the Club World Cup signals a promising resurgence as he aims to help City return to their previous dominant form.
